Wonwoo couldn't answer as he didn't really wanna say that he just picked it up, his impression that he made for you will just get ruined-so instead he lied, because everything starts with a lie.

"Th-this is mine, any problem?" He stuttered, he didn't know why he was nervous, he also noticed how people left the classroom and it made him more uneasy at the fact that it was just the two of you. He didn't get an answer but had mentally panicked as he saw your eyes getting welled up with tears.

"W-wait, why are you crying?" He forced words out of his mouth as he couldn't really think straight. He didn't get an answer but his eyes had widened a bit as he saw you roll your sleeve up, revealing the matching bracelet the hung perfectly on your wrist.

"I-I."

He couldn't finish the sentence as he already felt your small hand grab his, he watched as you connected the puzzle pieces, just to be unusually hurt as he saw you spill tears. You dropped your hands to your sides, you looked at him, trying to keep all the tears in.

As Wonwoo looked into your eyes, a familiar voice had entered his mind, making him understand everything that had happened.

"It's the only way to find her."

"See this metal puzzle piece that hangs in this bracelet? It connects to hers, the two bracelets are the only ones who can connect, it was actually custom made when we were kids."

You gave him a big grin and it made him feel warm, he wasn't really into expressing his feelings but he felt as if being by your side was right-but he doesn't want to admit that. Wonwoo breathed in, he didn't want to disappoint you, you already gave tears and a huge smile, he couldn't ask for more.

He had slowly opened his arms, earning a smile from you, you sunk into his arms, you bodies pressed against each other. He hesitantly brought his hand up to your head, softly caressing your hair.

You smiled, closing your eyes as you finally found him, he was guilty yet he was happy.

Because for some reason, he felt like it was right for him to make you smile.

If a lie makes you happy-then I'll be glad to continue it..
